Coralie Chariott was shocked. It never crossed her mind that Howard Schultz would hurt her with a knife. The pain came quickly, and tears sprang to her eyes.
"I've bought a house using the money that he gave me. There's no more left."
Although she still had some money left, Coralie wouldn't let Howard take it away.
"No more?" Howard poked her collarbone with his knife. Although the wound was not deep, blood gradually seeped out, "I don't believe you."
"Howard, we were together for three years. Ask yourself, did I betray you over those past three years? I served you and your mother unconditionally. I even forgave you for flirting with the female employees in the company. What else do you want from me?"
Coralie's tears flowed down as she spoke.
She could not bear the pain of the wound at all.
"So what? You told me that you were a virgin and you wanted to wait till the night of our wedding. But what happened at the end?"
There was no blood on the first night when they consummated their marriage.
In fact, even now, Coralie was unaware that she was not a virgin when she got married.
"Not every woman will bleed for the first time..."
"Ha! Why did the other women whom I had sex with bleed for the first time then? You are the only one who didn't."
In fact, Howard had multiple affairs.
"It seems that you have cheated on me more than once."
"You are not a virgin. Why should I stay loyal to you then?"
Although her shoulders were throbbing in pain, she still looked at him straight in the eyes, "Is that why you cheated on me? Is that why you had treated me so badly?"
"Yes."
"Was Alison a virgin?"
"Of course!"
Howard looked up and said arrogantly, "I had always adored Alison back during university days."
"University? Howard, even if I'm not a virgin, you wouldn't have known about that when we were in university, would you?"
Coralie looked at Howard with an incredulous look. It turned out that Alison and Howard had started their affair when they were in university!
Her question struck Howard speechless, "Alison told me long ago that you spent a night with Skylar. I'm not a fool!"
"Alison again... She is indeed my 'best friend'."
Coralie thought it was absurd.
Back then, Alison had tried her best to persuade her to break up with Skylar Holland. Not only that, but she also had an affair with Howard.
Coralie wondered how many things Alison had done behind her back.
"Bang! Bang!"
At this moment, there was a sudden noise on the door.
"Who called the police?!"
Howard panicked when he heard the noise at the door. His hand with the knife came close to Coralie's collarbone and trembled. The edge poked at her, hurting her even more. Tears streamed down her face.
"Open the door!"
Skylar's voice bellowed from outside the door.
Coralie and Howard were stunned.
"Skylar..."
"Well, your lover is here. I didn't expect him to be released from prison so soon."
Although Coralie knew that Skylar had been released from prison, she didn't expect him to come to her aid.
At this moment, Howard was very nervous. He was afraid that Skylar would call the police. Since Skylar was taller and more well-built than he was, he would still be at a disadvantage even with a knife. Thus, he decided to escape when the door was opened.
"Open the door!"
Skylar pounded on the door from the outside.
Coralie rushed over to hold him, but she missed. Skylar was lying on the ground. Only then did Coralie see the multiple knife wounds on his back.
......
Coralie unlocked the bedroom door, released Hera Jean and Wayne Chariott, and called the police and ambulance.
The two vehicles arrived at the same time.
Coralie followed Skylar to the hospital, while Wayne went over to the police station with Hera.
On the way to the hospital, Coralie held Skylar's hand tightly and burst into tears, "Skylar, you have to hold on."
At this moment, the wound on her shoulder seemed comparably insignificant.
"I'm fine. Don't cry."
Skylar was still slightly awake, and the doctor had bandaged his wound just now. Although the blood had stopped staining his back, his internal organ was hurt. He had to undergo a surgery.
"I'm sorry, I seemed to always bring trouble to you and your family."
It was just the same before. When Howard went to look for her, he accidentally knocked down Grandmother Holland.
"I'm fine."
Skylar had no strength left, but he couldn't bear to see Coralie in such a heartbreaking state. He could only comfort her repeatedly.
When they arrived at the hospital, Skylar was immediately rushed to the operating room.
Coralie's wound was also treated.
She sat at the door of the operating room and waited.
Coralie felt miserable when she looked at the light of the operating room. She recalled the conversation earlier. Howard confessed that he had an affair with Alison Herman when they were in university.
And now, he hurt Skylar again. Coralie really regretted marrying such a jerk.
She had suffered this kind of torment when Grandmother Holland fell ill.
However, this time, Coralie's worry was even intense as the doctor in the ambulance had told her that Skylar might have been stabbed in the kidney.
